Localization Prototype Research of RCC-M Ejector in Nuclear Power Plant

Abstract:

As the key equipment to ensure the stable operation of containment spray system in nuclear power plant, a RCC-M ejector with safe and credible performance is very important to make sure the containment integrality under lose of coolant accident (LOCA) or pipe broken. However, it was purchased from overseas supplier all along because of its special configuration, nonstandard design, severe safety level and small quantity demand. To implement equipment localization, and referring to practical applications of some nuclear plants, a RCC-M ejector is independently manufactured and tested, all performance could meet the requirement according to the test result. The RCC-M ejector is authenticated by experts by China Nuclear Energy Association, and the localization prototype research of this paper has great application and popularization value.
